When we post labor to GL do we have to break it out by every job and time and money?

    Aloha Michael!  I believe many of the posts are trying to answer your question and help you.  As several of the posts have indicated, you can get the best of BOTH worlds (entering time into Sage 100 Contractor, getting accurate, FULLY burdened job costs in the job history files (unless you final compute a payroll, the costs in various job cost reports you're looking at will be picking up the gross payroll and whatever payroll burden you chose to temporarily add on), AND accurately post to the G/L (payroll won't post to G/L unless you have final computed)  There is a different method to setting up the payroll calculations that can accomplish this without having to "force a match" to net to what the payroll service may calculate for each individual check.  It is quite a different setup and procedures that many Certified Consultants know how to do for you.  I'd check with your local consultant to see if they understand this method.  OR, if you are a member of TUG (The Users Group for Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 Construction & Real Estate and Sage Estimating), I wrote an article a couple of years ago on how to do this.  If you do not want to set up payroll in this method, then suggest you enter a Journal Transaction (1-3) to post the payroll costs to the appropriate G/L accounts.
